  • Publication number: 20110159193
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of forming a flexible moisture and oxygen barrier thin film substrate for a flexible display and food packaging, the thin film being able to increase the life-spans of organic devices. The method includes the steps of: a) uniformly dispersing plate-shape nanometer-size or micrometer-size particles in polymer solution; b) casting the polymer solution dispersed with the nanometer-size or micrometer-size particles using the solution casting method and then removing the solvent from the cast polymer solution to form a plastic film; c) stretching the formed plastic film between the glass transition temperature and melting point to exfoliate the plate-shape nanometer-size or micrometer-size particles and to orient the exfoliated nanometer-size or micrometer-size particles; d) coating the stretched plastic film with an organic film to smooth the surface of the flexible substrate; and e) heat-treating the flexible substrate to cure the organic film.
